South Boston St. Patrick’s Parade Flips Route for 2026, Starting at Andrew Square

The switch is framed as a tribute to Evacuation Day’s 250th anniversary.

Overview

  • The parade will run from Andrew Square through South Boston, turn onto West Broadway, and finish on A Street on March 15 at 11:30 a.m.
  • Organizers say the reversal echoes the Revolutionary-era movement to Dorchester Heights, including Henry Knox’s haul of cannons.
  • A designated family-friendly viewing zone is planned at Medal of Honor Park on M Street to address past unruly behavior.
  • City Councilor Ed Flynn cited an Andrew Square petition for the change, and officials are coordinating enforcement across agencies.
  • Boston will host a separate March 17 re-enactment and Dorchester Heights monument rededication capped by ceremonial cannon fire.
